About Randy
Expertise
I can answer general Top 40 and mainstream rock questions. I'm not as strong on the really obscure stuff or Europe-centric stuff.

Experience
I was a DJ in the 80's, both on and off the radio. My expertise is Top 40, but I also enjoy metal and new wave from the era.

Education/Credentials
Bachelor of Science

Subject: Looking for a song

Question
Hi, I am looking for a song, probably 80s (not sure if it goes further back), it was well known, still is but I donīt remember the title or any of the lyrics!

It was a woman singing (i think) in an almost wispering voice and all i remember is that after some words it goes:

da da da da,
da da-da da,
da da da da,
da da-da da

sorry i havenīt been much of a help...

Answer
Hi Nicole,
That sounds like Suzanne Vega singing "Tom's Diner".  The song is originally sung acapella on her "Solitude Standing" album, but was then remixed into a more energetic track by the group DNA using her vocal track.

Hope that's what you are looking for!
Randy
